Folks,
I`m about to get ahold of a gorgeous S4 avant manual with some engine difficulties. I have been looking for a B6 avant body to swap my BEW into but always thought it would be a 1.8T...
My first thought was this is going to be easy peasy...but then I started reading about CAN bus etc...Assuming 1.8T engine mounts will work into the B6 body and the tranny (6 speed close ratio) will mount to my BEW, what are your thoughts on making the electrical work? I`m more than comfortable with the job but is the CAN bus going to cause issues? Would it be more complicated than swapping the ECU and harness and adapting to the B6? Would I need to get a different cluster etc?
This is a bit of a time sensitive question - any help is appreciated...
